How Mahila Rozgar Yojana Is Transforming Women’s Financial Independence in India

Women’s economic empowerment has been at the heart of India’s development agenda over the last decade. From the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi to National Democratic Alliance (NDA) state governments, a consistent effort has been made to uplift women socially, financially, and technologically.

The transformative impact of this governance philosophy is reflected in landmark initiatives targeting health, livelihoods, entrepreneurship, digital inclusion, and skill development.

In this continuum of empowerment, Bihar’s Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana (MMRY)—popularly known as the Mahila Rozgar Yojana—marks a significant leap forward.

Launched on August 29, 2025, and virtually inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the scheme aims to reshape the economic landscape for women by enabling them to build sustainable enterprises, access credit easily, and achieve long-term financial independence.

This article explores how the scheme works, who benefits from it, and how it aligns with India’s broader vision for women-led development.
